The Group of Five continues to be unpredictable. Memphis, which was the top-ranked G5 team in the Associated Press Top 25, lost against UAB last week. Thus, the race to make it to the CFP continues to be wide open.
Following Memphis’ first loss of the season, South Florida took back the sole spot at No. 1 in the HERO Sports Group of Five Top 25 media poll for this week. Members of nationally-focused media outlets as well as at least one team beat reporter from every G5 conference is involved.
